Tailored Auger Screws for Every Flavouring Challenge
Seasoning snack foods like popcorn, pretzels, crisps, and peanuts can be complex. Flavourings vary widely in flowability and feed characteristics, which can significantly impact dosing consistency and equipment performance.
At Augers UK, you’re in expert hands. Our highly skilled engineering team brings decades of experience in both auger screw design and the food processing industry, enabling us to create custom solutions or produce a like-for-like replacement of your existing auger to OEM specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility with your current seasoning equipment. Whether you’re replacing a worn-out auger or upgrading performance, we ensure every auger screw is precision-engineered for a seamless fit and optimal functionality. We reverse-engineer from your current auger or technical drawings to guarantee compatibility and performance without the need to modify your existing system.
Some of the common auger variations we manufacture include –
- Single flight augers
- Multi-start auger screws
- Stepped pitch augers
- Tapered cone augers
- Mass flow auger screws
- Variable pitch augers
